anti-oxidants
More on anti-oxidants -
From: Nutritional Healing, by Dr.James Balch, M.D. and
Phyllis Bach, CNC, nutritional consultant.
"Anti-oxidants protect the nerve cells from free radicals. . . .
There are three known free radicals - superoxide, hydroxyl &
peroxide. Free radicals are normally present in the body in
small numbers, but are kept in check by certain enzymes:
(superoxide dismutase [SOD], methione reductase, catalase
and glutathione peroxidase. Their work is supplemented by
a diet rich in anti-oxidants such as vitamins A, E, C, and
minerals such as selenium. . . . "
For the PWP (and CGs) out there who do not swallow pills,
the following foods can supplement your diet with
anti-oxidants:
Vitamin A - liver, carrots, cantaloupe, peaches, squash,
tomatoes.
Vitamin C - citrus fruits, vegetables, green peppers,
potatoes.
Vitamin E - vegetable oil, soybean oil, wheat germ, raw
seeds and nuts, beans, molasses and eggs.
Selenium - bran, wheat germ, broccoli, onions and tuna fish.
Superoxide Dismutase [SOD] - barley grass, broccoli,
Brussels sprouts and cabbage.
Bon Appetit!
